JUST DOWNLOADED DASHCOMMAND & PURCHASED A WIFI OBD THING. PLUGGED IN THE WIFI THING IN & OPENED UP DASHCOMMAND & IT KEEPS COMING UP WITH `INTERFACE NOT FOUND`. AS I AM NO COMPUTER GEEK , I HAVENT GOT A CLUE. I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF STUFF FROM THEIR HELP SECTION BUT MOST OF IT DOES MY FRIGGIN SWEDE IN. ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHERE I AM GOING WRONG?:mad:
Comes up on my iphone wifi setting , then dashcommand says `interface not found`. Thought it was going to be `plug & play`, but as my luck goes with anything technical, i am stumped & my patience is short.
steps i took were: plug wifi dongle into obd port connect from iphone to wifi dongles own network then start car and start app then click connect (centre button on app) thats all i did
I was hoping that it was going to be that easy, but it isnt. Done all the above & ended up with the same old` cannot connect`. Its the iphone to dongle bit thats testing me. When it comes up on the phone, i click on it & bugger all happens!
Give it another try tomorrow. Then either smash the dongle to bits or the phone. god i love modern technology.:mad:
I've just purchased a similar product on iphone and used the free apps to ensure they connect. I'd say, as mentioned above, follow those steps. Make sure app is closed completely Car off plug dongle in ignition on connect via phone - NOT app open app double check settings for network connectivity voila - working app Keep us posted as mine was bugging talking about ELM327 connection which is a load of balls.
I got rev app, first sync with iphone wifi, done that, go to the app and u souhld have an ip adress on app options(duno wich on dash comand), donde that it should conect
What a crock of f**king shit this thing is. Absolutely no luck in connecting to it. Iphone finds it on wifi, then when you click on to join, it says `unable to join ObD2`. Tried it with car off & app off, car on, f88k all.
I have input what palmer performance(dashcommand) have on there help page. My phone will not connect to the dongle, let alone the Dashcommand app.
is it compatible with the 250? i know renault wasnt listed on the app but the 225 worked didnt know whether it would be different. Although i would of thought any obd port on any car would work?
This might sound like a really silly question, but you're connecting to the dongle like you would if you were connecting to a wireless router first...yes? Have you tried tapping on the 'i' symbol then 'forger network' then turning wifi off then on again, then trying to reconnect to it?
Don`t make sense to me as i`m `technically challenged`! i.e no patience, but will have a look. Cheers
If i tap on the `i` symbol, there is nothing on my iphone that says `forger network. The phone is sat next to the dongle & very rarely picks the thing up, no matter what way i do it. If you tap on it when it does come up, there is nothing in the `static` box or the ip line, its all empty. Surely my fone should go, oh look ,a dongle , do u want to join, ` yesplease`, we are joined. Bobs your uncle. Not this f**kin hoo ha.
I seem to remember I had to setup a wireless profile for my dongle when I first got it. Maybe that's what you need to do so that the phone recognises it? Can't remember the exact procedure, but once it was done I've never had an issue with it connecting since. Or you could just be unlucky and have a dodgey dongle.
Sounds right , but i havent got a clue as i aint wasting anymore time with the shit.Phone pics it up, every now & then, but wont join. Have emailed the ebayers who sell them, but they just said that its not ELM , but CLK device, but that doesnt show up anywhere.
Laptop won't even connect to it. Anyone recommend a different dongle? Surely when my iPhone scans for wifi & it picks up signal, there should be all the info regards ip & all stuff regards the dongle.?
If you look at the dongle I ordered http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=231552643731 This works perfect for me, I'm using an iPhone and also connects to my laptop. Shows fault codes, gauges etc etc
